New Kia Ceed GT revealed with 201bhp turbocharged engine

Along with the new ProCeed Shooting Brake sibling, Kia revealed its new Ceed GT hot hatch. It is powered by a 1.6-litre T-GDi engine that produces 201bhp.

Marketed not as an all-out time attacking hatch like the current crop of 300bhp hot hatches, the new Ceed GT hatch wants to be known as a good road car for the keen driver. Like its predecessor, it uses the similar turbocharged engine and outputs a decent 201bhp and 265Nm of torque.

New for this generation, the car gets a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission as an option alongside the standard six-speed manual.

Other than the usual go-faster cues like the larger air intakes at the front bumper, red highlights along its now more aggressive side skirt, new GT rear bumper and roof spoiler, the car gets new standard 18-inch wheels, larger red brake calipers and a ride height that’s been reduced by 135mm.

Inside, the GT gets a black roofliner instead of the usual grey ones on lesser cars, a D-shaped steering wheel with the ‘GT’ logo, leather and suede sports seats and new metal alloy shift paddles for those who opted for the dual-clutch transmission.

Sign in

With the end of the Circuit Breaker measures, more people have resumed working, creating more traffic on our roads.
But that has not stop this rider from riding recklessly on his Personal Mobility Device (PMD) in Sembawang.
As reported by SG Road Vigilante, the rider can be seen overtaking a car that is moving away from the traffic lights before keeping up to speed with it.
In fact, the video which was shot on the 4th of June, showed the rider overtaking a motorcycle in the next lane.
Judging from the 20 seconds plus clip, we reckon he could have been doing twice the legal speed limit of PMDs (25km/h).
Naturally, netizens were quick to slam him...
Should we be tolerating this? Watch the video of the PMD rider here!

A video showing a white car failing to check for oncoming traffic while doing a right turn has gone viral.
Unfortunately, the consequences were unpleasant as a Foodpanda motorcyclist was killed in the process.
The motorcyclist, a 41-year-old deliveryman from Malaysia, was unconscious when help arrived and eventually succumbed to his injuries at Ng Teng Fong General Hospital. He was reported to have been thrown 30 metres due to the impact and suffered brain injuries as a result.
According to Stomp, the accident took place at the junction of Toh Guan Road and Boon Lay Way at 7.58pm on the 10th of March.
The 36-year old Mercedes-Benz driver has been arrested for dangerous driving causing death.
There has been a debate that discretionary right-turn junctions should be abolished as there has been an increase in accidents related to it. Could this signal an end to such junctions?

A video of two drivers speeding and almost crashing to their deaths seems to be circulating on social media, Whatsapp groups and Telegram chats.
Here's the link to the 14-second video.
They almost died
In the video, you can see both the BMW and dashcam driver take evasive action to avoid a head-on collision with a stationary vehicle on lane 1 (rightmost lane).
If they had crashed, based on how fast they were going past other cars on the road, they would have died.
Online Chatter - Pro or lucky?
I'm not even sure whether to be horrified or impressed by the display of lightning quick reflexes in the video.
Netizens seem to be leaning more towards impressed.
Indeed. They are waiting.

In case you're wondering what a Fiat Doblo looks like.
It's a goods vehicle.

Take a look at this latest viral video
But, I don’t understand Malay!
Don't worry! We translated the whole conversation for you thanks to my malay colleagues!
Sounds similar?
I think they made this video in response to another video of two guys doing 180km/hr on the expressway in a Suzuki Swift Sport.
We wrote an article about that just yesterday btw (blatant backlinking opportunities should not be wasted). You may click the link below to check the story out.

On top of that, the person who uploaded the video included this in the caption
It's a good laugh
If you didn't realise, they weren't actually speeding. The speedometer of the vehicle seems to be faulty, and these two funny guys thought that they could have a bit of fun with it.
The driver's laughter made me lol more than once. That’s for sure.
Don't need call polis please and thank you!
